Surgeon Testimonial

Kenneth B. Jones, M.D.
Choosing a good surgeon was my top priority when I decided to have WLS. First, I listened to what others had to say about the surgeons in my city. Then I asked several doctors, who I work with, for their independent opinions of whom they would recommend. I told them what kind of surgery I had chosen and they ALL reccommended the same MD; Dr. Kenneth B. Jones.
I learned that he was the most experienced surgeon for WLS in this area and that he had done thousands of RNY.
His office staff, Sue and Kim also came highly reccommended by previous patients. I found him and his staff to be so helpful and supportive. I am a self pay patient, so they did their best to advise me of the probable costs involved. Dr. Jones answered all mine and my husbands questions before surgery and in the hospital. He has also shown a great deal of concern and dedication to me in the aftercare. He has offered his help at any time I need it. He completelty addressed all risks and benefits of surgery, the lifestyle changes necessary to adapt to afterwards and the assurance that this procedure was generally a very safe procedure long term if one follows aftercare instructions. I would highly reccommend him to any patient.

    Friday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

I'm Home!
Hello everyone. I'm home now, Monday, three days post op. I just had my first peanut butter cracker and a small amount of cream of potato soup and it was GOOD. I think I'm done with ice chips and apple juice for a few days. Yesterday, they were suppossed to start me on milk, jellow, crackers, broth, etc, but didn't. So this am I get my first tray and it has all that on it and I'm afraid to try any of it, except the jello and both; I figured they were liquids, too. The milk and crackers scared me, but apparently, I'm okay to go on those, too. I'm really tired today, too. I have been walking and walking in the halls, around and around the nurses station. I was probably annoying to the staff, but oh wel. I really like the hospital bed with all its' controls to make it just right, but I am glad to climb into my own bed today. Thanks to all who wrote notes and included me in their prayers. It all went really well. My family were great in bringing me lotion, a massager, lip balm and most importantly, their hugs and kisses. Bless my husband for spending two nights on the couch in my room; not big enough for most people. Love to all. Judi
